Would you keep your child home for this?

Question

If your child had a little rash unknown would you keep them home from school. My boyfriend daughter suddenly has little rash and she says it a little burn that hurts. I think because kind of chair that her grandparents has. He said to his daughter last night that if still there in the morning she stay home from school. She says it still there which I didn't see anything. Right now they are in the er. I asked him if he taking to her regular doctor. No he won't do anything and won't find out want it is. That a lie. I ask why you keep taking her there then. He goes there because the doctor do what he ask for. So now I am waiting to see want it is. I think putting bendryal it go away.

Update:

I was right bendryal would get the rash away because some kind of allergy which I think it didn't look like it to me

wow... ER is a little extreme especially if the rash didnt cause a fever, hives and didnt even spread but disappeared in the morning. Sounds like you are right... it probably was the chair. I hope your boyfriend has the custodial custody, other wise mommy is going to be real mad every time daddy wants to rack up hospital bills. ERs arent cheap.. even with insurance. As parents, they need to discuss if they are happy with their primary doctor and if not to change it. Otherwise, as the girlfriend, just let the daddy and mommy beef it out

If I thought it was contact dermatitis, she would be in school.  I thought my kid had Lyme disease not long ago, and I took her to the ER too.  It turns out it can wait until the next doctor appt is available.

I think your boyfriend is an idiot.   ER for a little rash???  Bendryl is the way to go.

If the rash is claimed to be caused by a chair, I'm guessing that it is on her bottom.  You need to examine whether your boyfriend is doing something that is causing these marks, which is why he's covering it up.

i think you owe it to the other parents to not send your potentially contagious child to a building full of vulnerable children
